Muscle cross-sectional area and bone cortical area of the right femur were measured using a 1.0-T system (Magnex αII, SMI-50C; Shimazu, Tokyo, Japan). Scans of femoral mid-diaphyseal cross-sectional ...
Objectives: To determine sex differences in the distribution of regional and total skeletal muscle (SM) using contiguous whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and to examine the relations ...
A new method is introduced in this paper to determine the best means by which to measure the cross sectional area in magnetic resonance images. Images are collected using a three dimensional gradient ...
By manually segmenting temporalis muscles on MRI images and calculating their cross-sectional area, participants were grouped into categories based on muscle size. Over a median follow-up of 5.8 years ...
The researchers manually segmented the bilateral temporalis muscle on MRI images and calculated the sum cross-sectional area (CSA) of these muscles. Participants were categorized into two distinct ...

Masseter muscle CSAs were measured from MRI images, and information on grinding, clenching, unilateral chewing, and other parafunctional habits was collected via dental interview. Linear and ordinal ...
Hall underwent 3.0-T MRI scans to assess the size of 22 individual lower-limb muscles, five functional muscle groups, and the cross-sectional area of the patellar tendon.
Objective The transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) is active during running as a secondary respiratory muscle and acts, together with the multifidus, as trunk stabiliser. The purpose of this study was ...
Background: Fluid accumulation in the neck during recumbency might narrow the upper airway (UA) and thereby contribute to its collapse in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). It is ...
It has a large cross-sectional area and can produce more strength than the biceps brachii. Many people think the biceps brachii is a major elbow flexor; however, flexion is actually accomplished by ...
